Schulze’s passion for Banning is palpable as he describes it, his words painting a picture of a city on the brink of an exciting era. “Banning is Endless Opportunities,” he asserts, highlighting the city’s new motto as well as its potential. One of Banning’s key features is its strategic location. Situated on Interstate 10, a major east-west corridor, and within miles of Highways 60 and 79, Banning boasts easy access to Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. This geographical advantage positions Banning as an economically opportunistic city, creating a nexus of commerce and connectivity. However, Banning’s appeal isn’t solely economic. Schulze elaborates, “From a residential perspective, if you live in Banning, you can be in the desert or in the mountains within half an hour, or on the beach within a couple of hours.” This strategically located city offers a slice of California’s diverse geography, all within an accessible radius. It’s located on a plateau overlooking the city and San Jacinto Mountains. It will have fantastic views. A little cooler climate in the summer when we get some heat here.”This portrays a haven with captivating views, offering residents a cooler retreat during the hotter months.
